Bern Open Data Camp - April 27, 2012

The autumn 2011 and spring 2012 Open Data Camps in Switzerland were a big success. Hundreds of people have attended the events in Zürich, Lausanne and Geneva, dozens of pioneer projects were initiated and implemented. On April 27, 2012 the Bern Open Data Camp brings thinkers and makers together in the Swiss capital around the theme of Open Government Data.

Note: while the event page is in German, you don't need to speak it to take part! The event is open to all, and we will endeavor to keep everyone on the same page regardless of which language they speak.

We are convinced that the thematic focus will strengthen the community of designers, developers, activists and journalists and foster innovation around making transportation both public and private a better, more efficient and more social experience through open data apps.
